Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large caps Portabella mushrooms
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 8 ounces Italian sausage
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 1 cup Breadcrumbs
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
- 1 cup Mozzarella cheese
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Clean the portabella mushrooms by wiping them with a damp paper towel and removing the stems and gills using a spoon. Set the caps aside.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the Italian sausage, breaking it apart with a spoon or spatula, and cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes. Drain any excess fat.
Finely mince the garlic cloves and add them to the skillet with the sausage. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Remove the skillet from the heat and stir in breadcrumbs, chopped fresh parsley, salt, and black pepper until well-combined.
Brush the mushroom caps with the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil and place them on a baking sheet, gill side up.
Stuff each mushroom cap with the sausage mixture, gently pressing it down to pack it in evenly.
Top each stuffed mushroom with a generous amount of shredded mozzarella cheese.
Bake the mushrooms in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and lightly golden.
Remove from the oven and let them cool slightly before garnishing with additional parsley, if desired. Serve warm and enjoy!
